“Modern CSS Reset / Global Styles”
A good ‘you don’t need to make the same decisions but you do need to answer the same questions’ kind of post covering reset styles.
“Modern CSS in a Nutshell - Cloud Four”
IMO, common CSS processors and build tools are a big part of the reason why people have a hard time building a good mental of how it works.
Is cross-posting broken? My micro.blog posts haven’t been posting anywhere else.
“How to detect Emojis in JavaScript strings - Stefan Judis Web Development”
TIL about unicode support in JS RegExp.
Having both arts & humanities education and a coding career is having to constantly witness how ignorant those two fields are about each other. Coders build nonsensical card houses from scratch rather than read art theory or philosophy. Humanities people think code is magic
“Introducing Buy now, pay later in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Tech Community”
Here I’ve been talking up Edge as the ‘nice Chrome’ and they go and do something like this. Horrible, horrible idea.
‘Get Ready for the “Kessler Syndrome” to Wreck Outer Space - by Clive Thompson’
The odds of the satellite era ending completely in our lifetimes is not zero.

“wrangler 2.0 — a new developer experience for Cloudflare Workers”
They did the right thing and integrated miniflare.
“I will pay you cash to delete your npm module”
That’s one way to address the problem.
“Thinking of uses for BlockChains – Terence Eden’s Blog”
Kevin Kelly is wrong so often that you usually learn more by assuming he’s wrong and work out what faulty assumptions led to his conclusion
“The Software Slip — Pixel Envy”
